We legitimately have zero options besides voting for Biden.
And I sincerely hope enough voters realize that, because trump will be worse.
The only thing we can do till 2028 is make a lot of noise about how this shit is unacceptable and Dems need to do better
Unfortunately the DNC knows that while we say it’s unacceptable, we still have to vote Biden or risk trump.
Which is why the DNC has spent 30 years drifting further and further right. They have captive voters and are willing to risk Republican rule so Dems can be as rightwing as possible.
This is honestly the best take on the issue I’ve seen so far.
I am the first person to say we need to break the two-party stranglehold on politics. We need independent candidates in office yesterday. But this election is the abso-fucking-lutely worst time to make a run at that, because that third party vote WILL be a vote for Trump. And if you firmly believe that third party or independent politicians have a place, elect them to your local city council or school board or state legislature. That is where they will make a real, actionable difference.
A vote against Biden, no matter who for, is a vote for Trump. No amount of TikTok “well ackshually” will change that reality.
last election biden and harris were on the working families party line which is third party. i’m not sure this time around but do y’all even know how third party works?
I’m here because I like to discuss politics. However, just like Reddit…it seems as if this community only leans one way. Sorry to inform you that politics in America is very broad…it’s not just about Democrats and Liberals.
Yeah, I don’t understand hating Biden for something that Netanyahu is doing. And there’s only so much Biden could do other than try to play peacekeeper, which he’s been doing. Pretty much any other actions require congressional support. Biden isn’t a king, he can’t unilaterally declare that we’re ending all support for Israel.
And yet an insane number of people act like he’s over there killing Palestinians with his bare hands.
If we helped set up a two state solution then we’d have another ally over there. Hell, if we had a one state solution, we’d have one more ally and one less genocidal apartheid state to leash. And tbh, it’s probably better we’re not over there fucking things up anymore.
Mark my words:
Trump will win, and it will be largely because of people who refuse to support Biden due to Palestine.
I will be truly happy if time proves me wrong.
.
We should be criticizing our old, conservative president Biden. He needs to 180 his stance.
Also not voting for him in Nov is vapid and invalidates any defense of the Palestinian people you have.
It sucks, but it’s reality.
Yep.
We legitimately have zero options besides voting for Biden.

I’ll be voting for Trump. I was in favor of his tough stance on illegal immigration, and I still am. Bring out the pitchforks Lemmy!
Why are you even here?
Isn’t this the Politics community? I mean, are all politics allowed…or, ONLY Left an Democrat politics? Smells very…Redditish to me…
There isnt a single positive thing on your profile, even on other boards, why would i assume you are here in good faith?

Did you know Biden deported more illegals than Trump did?

also people like biden and trump took my vote away so do not get to participate in this “democracy”
